Would you give up your pets for a lover

[psychocat]

I would never get rid of a pet for a significant other. I'm a cat man and would never get rid of them!! Why is it, a man that owns a cat instead of a dog is less manly? I get hell from my "macho" friends for liking cats over dogs.

Tell your friends comparing a dog to a cat is like comparing a street slugger to the ultimate martial artist , cats are faster, more agile, and meaner than any dog.
Pound for pound a dog will get it's arse seriously kicked by a cat.

Nope! Patsy is my buddy and that's that. Anyone I date will have to deal with her as long as she's alive.
I love the company of dogs, and the only way I would ever consider NOT getting another dog would be if my SO (and this is WITH a ring dammit, boyfriends don't count) was really allergic. And I'd want to see proof of this.

Totally agree; the pet has more sense than anyone I ever met; AND THEY R UNCONDITIONAL LUV! Have been in court fightin my ex for the dogs! What a trip! No matter how much you discuss it, found u need a contract that is binding if u get a pet with a SO! Cheaper to get new pets, but luv the one I have! Would give up a leg first!

I think I would give up all my cats for the lady that I love. However she is as much of a cat lover as I am, so I would never have the face such a dilema. The love of my life would never make me give up the other love that I have encountered over the past few years. My cats shit out-side and they eat inside, so I see no problem with letting them live with me or even sleep in my bed. I would die for my lady, but I dont think I would die for my Misty and her 4 children, ALL WHOM LIVE WITH ME.

So um... how does this relate to the title of giving your pet up for a lover?


Well anywhoo, I'm never renting a place if I can't bring my Patches along! (my cat) She's not just an animal, she's my animal, bonded to me waaay more than anybody else. Worth far too much for me.

Don't give up your kitty.

I've seen many cats and dogs who live peacefully together, you should try seeing if they would like each other.

Well, if we are going to mince words, the answer is NO. But good catch on the unwashed masses' inability to catch the subtleties of the thread title!:thumbsup:

I had a partner she used emotional blackmail to make me get rid of my two Lakeland fell terriers and like a fool i did, needless to say i got rid of the her not long after and bought a Longdog as soon as she was gone.

Not a chance. Anyone who would be willing to have you be more unhappy so that they are MORE happy is not someone I'd want a relationship with. Period.

I feel the same way and in the future, I'll be sure to have legal documents drawn up to be sure of my ownership or my pets ownership of me!! No more courts for keeping my dog!! I'd never given my dog up, ever! And still trying to get um back! Plus, I'll change locks, security system, etc. anything to keep from going to court to keep my baby!
